Which programs are logged before or after those messages?

What daemons/programs are running when it logs that messages? [hint: ps
-ax]

Because I think some program is trying to issue a syslog() funtion but
it fills the first parameter of syslog(priority,...) wrongly and thus
you get a `unknown priority name'.

See syslog(3).
